The proposed project consists of the replacement of a structurally deficient bridge over Lower Black Creek located on CR 577 six miles south of the city of Brooklet in Bulloch County, Georgia. The existing bridge is 105' x 23.8' and will be replaced with a 105' x 24' bridge on existing alignment with an on-site temporary detour. The existing right-of-way is 80' with an additional 40' of right-of-way required for the on-site detour. The total length of this project is 0.2 mile. An archeological survey (Level II) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archeologists in consultation with DNR Historic Preservation Division Staff and concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration and State Historic Preservation Officer. These guidelines provide general survey boundaries and methodological approaches to archeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archeological resources. No National Register of Historic Places contributing elements were located on archeological sites within the proposed project's area of potential effect. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
